<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If i have multiple VAPs(Access Points) created, </div>
<div>Each VAP will have separate ESSID etc.... and i want to maintain each of them as a separate connection. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do i have to run multiple instance of Hostapd for each of the VAP? </div>
<div><br>While reading on the net, i found that we need not have multiple instance but we can obtain this witha single instance , by giving the diff configuration files while running hostapd.

<div>How do we give different configuration files while running hostapd? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I read in the below, </div>
